About the class
If you have some experience with painting, either oil or acrylic, you know there are stumbling blocks along the way. One of the best ways artists (Matisse, Morandi, and many others) have used to push their work forward is to create subject limits. In this class, we will work from still life and limit the objects so the focus can be the paint. Narrowing how you look at color, value, temperature, color schemes, etc., and most importantly subject, allows for intensive growth. Be willing to limit yourself now for a payoff in your painting and experience how limits can be a fun way to grow.
Tables and easels are provided. Students bring their own painting supplies. Instructor will email students to discuss materials prior to the start of class.
Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.
